All of this information I found through other forums, so I just followed the steps and got a rooted Eve quite simply. All thanks go to the original rooters (Zacpod) and the fine folks over at XDA.

I was using Windows 7 so Vista or XP maybe slightly different, but not a whole lot. Also, I did this a few weeks ago so some of it is going from memory. If any edits are needed I will update this post.

How to install the LG USB and ADB USB drivers on Windows.This is the part that I had the most problems with, but that’s mainly because I read the instructions wrong! First, install the LG USB drivers from the link above. Then, on the phone you need to enable USB debugging mode Settings —> Applications —> Development —> USB debugging (put a check mark here) Connect the phone to your PC with the USB cable. In Windows, you should hear the beep on a connected device and the LG drivers should find it OK. In Windows, open up Device Manager and you should see 2 devices with yellow exclamation marks beside it and the description "LG USB Modem" (I’m going from memory here, so that may not be 100% accurate). Right click on the 2nd one, click "Update driver software", click "Browse my computer for driver software" then click "Let me pick from a list…" You should see "Android Phone" listed. Double click this and you should see a list of 3 options. Click on "Android ADB Interface" and click "Next". You’ll probably see an "Update driver warning" box, so just click "Yes" to install it anyway. If you don’t see 3 options, click "Have Disk…" and select the Android USB driver (android_winusb.inf) you downloaded earlier. After all this, you should now be able to get ADB shell access to your Eve. To check you have access follow these steps: If you’re on Windows, open a Command Prompt window but make sure you "Run as administrator" to get the privilegies needed. Linux users can use Terminal. Navigate to your installed Android SDK (ie: "cd c:\SDK\tools\" if that’s where you installed it). Now type "adb devices" to see if your Eve is detected. If it is, you’re good to go on.

hi! first of all: thx 4 the explanations & your efforts!
one correction: in order that your #5 works, zacpod’s statement #9
“cd /path/to/the/unzipped/superuser.zip”
needs to be typed first first; of course “path/to/the/unzipped/superuser.zip” is symbolical and needs to be replaced by the path, where the superuser.zip had been unzipped 🙂
